One of the main concerns of the Action 2 owners what the fear of losing the battery/screen pack and not being able to charge the camera anymore. Good thing there are so many alternatives now to charger the camera
Do you recommend it? I really like the Design, size, modularity and colors, but I watched a lot of people complaining about overheating, so I am now trying to decide between action 2 and hero 10 or should I wait for sometime?
@@mohammedhussein7849 For vlogging, ABSOLUTELY YES. I'm all for discreet, go-to vlogging setups, not carrying around big DSLRs with big lenses. But for sports, no. It's really fragile. It depends on what you really need.
@@KhunJerome thanks a lot, that's what I thought too, but don't you think that with a case and may be a lens protector, it can handle it? I really don't see a big difference between it and gopro, bothhave glass and all glass breaks. The only difference is the replaceable lens, so either protect it or get an extended warranty.
@@mohammedhussein7849 Here in the Philippines, DJI refresh is not available yet. I already bought a metal housing case, screen protector, and a UV filter that acts as another glass layer. I'm gonna use it for vlogging, but for extreme activities (which are actually not my thing), I won't risk it. I personally don't like GoPro ever since bec DJI's footages are more cinematic for my taste.
Looking towards this as a new on the ground rig out. Walk about, first person view of my photography taking with dslr. Less invasive than a busy drone overhead but always have the quieter Mini 2 as a backup option from a height.
Did you try the smallrig and telesin base to see if they work as a mic output? For sure I don't think the ulanzi would work with the lack of pins. They need to build mic output and sd card into a tiny base, maybe even a small battery.
Thanks for these reviews. One question though, at 5:00 what would be the advantage of using the cage with the charging module since you're going to lose the 100% secure (i.e. non magnetic) mounting provided buy the mini-cage ?
I have the Smallrig and Tilta cages. Must have to say, the Smallrig cage is the best build one out there. Smallrig also put a lot more thought into their magnet mounts allowing for both GoPro style and 1/4" screws at the same time. The one thing, that really annoys me, is that neither Smallrig, Tilta, Telesin or Ulanzi expose the storage / webcam profile on the USB-C port. It seems they've all only routed the charging pins through. Quite the bummer.
Hry Aldryn, always appreciate the content and the time you put into it 👏👏 Quick question: what’s your thoughts on the best mount for shooting 9:16 Vertical video with the Action2? Looking at the measurements, doesn’t appear you can simply rotate the camera 90° within these cages. Any thoughts? Thanks sir and keep up the good work!
Hi, nice quick review. Not boring :--). I just got the Action 2 and was wondering if there's any cage that has external microphone mounts on top? All I have found are side mounts and it can be a little annoying! Thanks in advance.
Hello! I found your video very helpful for my action 2. However, days back I lost my magnetic lanyard. Now I am having trouble. Do you have any idea how I can use any of the accessories as a magnetic lanyard, or similar accessories from any other brands. Dji does sell this magnetic lanyard, but it is always out of stock. Thank you
Really good to know about these accessories. I'm leaning on this camera, right now, for my first action camera, probably refurbished to save some money and these accessories are great. Thanks again, Enalgio. Marc T. Whoops, may have spelled your name wrong. Take care.
These cameras have come a long way, from the bricks they used to be. Awesome video and camera. I'm still thinking about getting one of these? Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Can You post a link to underwater housing (cage) for a single-module and with pack-module ? I am a diver want to take it deeper. Already tested A2 naked to -8m deep works GREAT
I just found out Oct 24th, 2023 that the Ulanzi cage does not fit the DJI Action 2 camera. Had to return it. I checked the width dimensions of the inside of the Ulanzi cage, and outside dimension of the DJI Action 2 case width. The outside width of the DJI camera is 43.5mm, and the inside width dimension of the Ulanzi cage is 40mm, so the DJI camera can’t possibly fit inside the cage - it’s too wide. Maybe DJI increased the width of the Action 2 camera case since Ulanzi manufactured the protective cage for it?
I love the Action 2 because it can do more than Insta360-GO2. However, when mounted on a mountain bicycle frame the camera stops recording and restarts immediately after hitting potholes and bumps. This behaviour has nothing to do with overheating as it happened in cloudy weather within 1-2 minutes of recording and is reproducible. I think the battery module is losing contact with the battery due to excessive vibrations. DJI support hasn't been able to help yet, actually they wasted my time.
Hi FlytPath I'm your subscriber, I got the Mavic 3 and I wanted to ask you if there is a particular video configuration for when you use the zoom? I notice that when I zoom in between the detachment from the optical to the digital I find a lot of noise on the video in the optical recording part before the detachment, the digital instead is excellent and presents a quality image without noise, then as I zoom in true the 28x I lose in quality and there is, thanks for the good videos that are always very comprehensive, continue that you are of a lot of help Danilo Spadini
I bought a slew of the Ulanzi accessories - having seen someone else's video! - but personally, I'm glad DJI has left this to the 3rd party companies because there is competition between them and I am sure that's keeping prices down. "Keeping Prices Down" and "DJI" are words that simply don't go together... :)
I want a cage that will hold both sections of the camera in a cube like a GoPro Session. Why doesn't anyone make such a thing? The camera would work so much better that way for helmet mounting.

Casing is awesome. Cools down the Action 2 while protecting it. Definitely a must have.
This is so timely! Bought my Action 2 just yesterday! Thank you!

So many of these look great but I am having trouble finding them still being available
Useful film. Can you point me in the direction of the DJI mini tripod... I've not come across that. Cheers.
Looking towards this as a new on the ground rig out. Walk about, first person view of my photography taking with dslr. Less invasive than a busy drone overhead but always have the quieter Mini 2 as a backup option from a height.
I believe there could be a way how to protect the lens since there magnetic filters that can be attached to the front
Looking internet all over for that tiny dji tripod that you use for the action 2... can't find it. What is the name?❤
what's that really small tripod in the centre throughout the video?
DJI's magnetic protective case is something to be excited about! I can't wait to try it on my Action 2
Does it possible to transfer Files from camera module using magnetic-mount with USB port ???
Just in time bro! Just got my Action 2 yesterday.
The two types of USB on the charger is very handy. Great collection of accessories, Aldryn. 👍
Did you try the smallrig and telesin base to see if they work as a mic output? For sure I don't think the ulanzi would work with the lack of pins. They need to build mic output and sd card into a tiny base, maybe even a small battery.
DJI make exactly that...
@@Ozpeter they need to make a less bulky version of it. I’m trying to use this as an action cam.
Alright, who knows what the stubby handle is at 5:15? I want that!
These are great accessories but I read DJI's sending a free functional case for the Action 2 as well! I'd probably wait for mine to arrive first :)
Where can I get that DJI mini grip tripod
Thanks for these reviews.
One question though, at 5:00 what would be the advantage of using the cage with the charging module since you're going to lose the 100% secure (i.e. non magnetic) mounting provided buy the mini-cage ?
Not 100% secure. Watch out.
What’s the name of that mini mini tripod?
Handful thanks 10+ great video😊
Most welcome 😊

Somebody knows where to get the small tripod shown at 4:54? It ha a dji logo but I cannot find...
Despite something like 5/6 question around this mini tripod, FlytPath is not going to answer...
Test if osmo action camera adapter works for gopro🙏

Very cool accessories for that camera. The cage is pretty neat.
Wish there was one to shoot vertical with necklace mount

I would like to know what tiny tripod you screwed on the smallrig
Its an older tripod attachment dji had for the action 2 which for some reason they don't sell anymore.
It's perfect for the action 2. I'm glad you still have it. Looks like a pocket 2 without the moving parts ❤️
imagine you're going skiing with it, will it fall of or get damaged by snow by any chance?
That smallrig casing is like the cherry on top that arrived late. Still sweet but my action 2 is already scratched.
Hey! Where did you get that small tripod lol? Is that smallrig as well an official from DJI?
I like to know too.. you know ?
What is the name of that cute little dji selfystick?
These cameras have come a long way, from the bricks they used to be. Awesome video and camera. I'm still thinking about getting one of these? Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
What is that mini tripod in the middle of your desk? I can't find that anywhere
Sir nice video amazing products thanks for sharing
What are the filters for? I know they are filters, but the colors look all the same. Are they to do different types of days? Lower uv? Higher iso?
With the small rig cage on will the screen of both the camera and extra screen be protected ?
What are your thoughts on the macro lens and the magnetic head mount. Will the mount work with the new case they've issued ?
Do any of the usb docks allow for data, or are they power-only?
I want to know if the clip adopter for action 2 can be use for action to action 3?
Hi Aldryn! Can the Action 2 can still fit inside the Telesin waterproof case if I also have the free protective case clipped on my Action 2?
Wanted to know this too!
Can you use the action 2 head gear for the action 3?
Can You post a link to underwater housing (cage) for a single-module and with pack-module ? I am a diver want to take it deeper. Already tested A2 naked to -8m deep works GREAT
does that Telesin charging mount also allow for external audio?
Which is the tiny tripod that is shown at 2:13.. please help..
Hi! Is can I use PGYTAG lenses with small rig aluminum case? I’m talking about DJI ACTION 2
i can't find that DJI mini tripod
Hi. Any idea if freewell or pgytech filters fith the cage?
I love the metal cage by Ulanzi
I just found out Oct 24th, 2023 that the Ulanzi cage does not fit the DJI Action 2 camera. Had to return it.

@@Bungzy never found out. To me it looks like a tripod made gimbals
What’s this tiny tripod, can’t find it anywhere
where can i get that mini tripod? not the ulanzi one the mini one with dji printed

Ive heard the run time is limited, also after a period of time the unit tends to heat up, is this correct?
Thank you
@FlytPath need link for SmallRig usb c base please
Where is that tiny tiny tripod from?
Whats the point of the USB charging if the camera will run out of storage of 28GB which is not expandable on the main camera module

Excellent Review Video, and Excellent Information. Amazing Accessories! Thank You.
They are all good company's Have products from all of them
So many frames and none of them protects the len, which is the most important and the main reason I don't want to buy this camera. I can't understand.
